Abstract (en)
Disclosed is an optical fiber end surface processing apparatus (100) capable of cutting an optical fiber end surface smoothly and accurately without leaving a core-like (navel-like) processing mark of the rotation center of the cutter on the optical fiber end surface or without making the optical fiber end surface a rough surface. The optical fiber end surface processing apparatus (1) is equipped with a cutter (1) rotatable by a drive source (13) and a guide member (4) provided with a guide hole (5) extending therethrough, the cutter (1) being contained in a case (11), the guide member (4) being provided in the case (11) such that the cutter (1) and the guide hole (5) are opposed to each other, the optical fiber being inserted into the guide hole (5) of the guide member (4) to be thereby guided toward the cutter (1) until it abuts the cutter (1), thus cutting the optical fiber end surface by the cutter (1) that rotates, wherein the optical fiber end surface abuts the cutter (1) at a position deviated from the rotation center of the cutter (1).
